A St. Paul man shot and wounded a girl while trying to kill a gang member, according to charges filed Friday.

Pierre S. Glass, 18, was charged in Ramsey County District Court with attempted second-degree murder for trying to kill the gang member in St. Paul and second-degree assault for wounding the girl.

According to the complaint, Glass fired into a group of young people walking near the 1800 block of Minnehaha Avenue about 11:30 p.m. on Nov. 30. Glass allegedly was trying to kill a 16-year-old boy who had switched gangs from the Hit Squad, also known as the West Side Bloods, to the East Side Boyz. Glass is said to belong to the Hit Squad.

Glass was in a car when he spotted the group, which had just left a nearby house party.
